M.A.I.L. (Maille Artisans International League) is an international community of artisans and volunteers dedicated to the advancement of the chainmaille artform. We aim to encourage the sharing and spreading of information, archiving as many techniques and weaves as possible.

Well, that, and it's been rewritten from the ground up in an entirely different scripting language...

If you're not noticing a difference, I did a good job

not necessarily. i was in the car for 6 hours today, in twin 3 hour segments, in between which was another 6 hours at a 1 yr old's birthday party in another state. i exhausted, and am not very observant to begin with (christmas 08 a lady was attacked on my street by my neighbor's pitt bull. my parents got her inside and police and animal control came and etc a whole 2-3 hour event. i was 3 rooms away from the front room and didnt find out about it for 3 months)

I did notice one difference actually (besides the one I already pointed out). In the "Avatar (For Board)" section, it used to say "Current Avatar: None", but now it says "Current Avatar: none". The "n" is no longer capitalized. I didn't mention it before because I didn't think it mattered. Still don't, actually. Other than those two things, the page looks exactly the same.

Had a random thought the other day, dealing with weaves. And yes it is generally bad when I start that way.

I tend to keep my TV on science type shows. I think it was about biology or something. I was thinking, what the opinion would be on a scientific classification based on the anatomy of the weaves. I was thinking it might reduce the 'clutter' in the weave library. Searching weaves would be similar to how it is now. If you're looking up European weaves, you click that, then you can either scroll through the whole list. Or select from a list of options at the top of the page to narrow down the search.

This list is just kinda off the top of the head, and it may end up being too restrictive of a way to organize things. Just figured I would share the idea and see what everyone thought. Not to mention I'm not sure I am happy with the current Genus, but a concept of how it could be laid out.
